The increase under general operating expenses is due partly to the reinstatement of reductions of $326,200 applied by the General Assembly in its resolution 56/253 and the reinstatement of $480,000 related to the replacement programme for furniture and equipment of the mission, the delayed implementation of which resulted in higher maintenance costs for 2004-2005.
La demora en la ejecución de dicho programa ha acarreado mayores gastos de mantenimiento para el bienio 2004-2005.
